dey ia anticipation of a decision upon the

Chicago anarcbists. 1t was thought that
Mr.. Justice Miller might, perhaps, announce
the decision and read the opinion, and wher
his turn came the court room was absolute

eagerly for his first words. The judgments
which he announced had. however, no rela-
ton TO the case which was in every ones
mind. and it was not until the reading of
opinions had been concluded that any refer
ence to that case was made. The Chief JUS
tico then said that the Court hoped to be
ready to announce its decision upon the me-
ton of Spies and others for writ of error
by Wednesday of this week, and certainly
by Thursday.
